Milk keeps the crumb tender
-
Oil/butter prevents dryness
-
Apples release moisture while baking

Minimal mixing = soft texture
Q & A
Q: Can I use grated apples instead of slices?
Yes! Grated apples make it even softer and more pudding-like.
Q: Can I reduce the sugar?
Yes — reduce by ¼ glass if apples are very sweet.
Q: Can I make it without oil?
Yes — replace oil with the same amount of melted butter or yogurt.
Q: How do I store it?
Cover and keep at room temperature for 1 day
Refrigerate up to 4 days (still soft!)
Q: Can I add nuts or raisins?
Absolutely — walnuts or raisins work beautifully.
